I am filled with admiration for the elegance of this puzzle and the creativity required to make reasonable and sensible answers both directions. The one with LUCA that solves to Hulu Catalog and Cabo San Lucas was . Also loved that it had a few obscure words like Ferrule (a new one for me) and Oread, which didn’t feel gratuitous or unfair. Just so, so well done. A real pleasure to solve.
For months now, Tuesdays have been easier for me than Mondays. I’m not sure when this changed or what it says about me - but my average for Tuesdays is now lower than the average for Mondays. 🤷♀️. Anyways - this one was a breeze - easily a personal best, but also cute, clever, fun. Thanx PC Nate Cardin for the nice experience.
@Wendy - oops - for some reason part of the one sentence disappears! Should read “ The one with LUCA that solved to Hulu Catalog and Cabo San Lucas was chef’s kiss”
@Mr Dave read the wordplay column for clear explanation of what you aren’t seeing 😊
@Jasmine. Thanx for speaking up! I generally don’t truck with folks who complain about puzzles - if you don’t like it don’t play, right? - BUT I was feeling this exact thing as I moved through the grid. Got the theme instantly and the word ladder was a fun twist - but man just felt bogged down for some reason. Glad it wasn’t just me and I am genuinely full of admiration for the creator / creative theme.
